# Fatal shootings in San Francisco de Macorís > Developing situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/fatal-shootings-in-san-francisco-de-macors > Updated: 2026-11-01T18:02:52.000Z. Sources: 2. Developments: 2. Two separate fatal shooting incidents have occurred in San Francisco de Macorís. In the first incident, Edgar Alberto Sánchez died from a gunshot wound to the head following a confrontation with his brother-in-law, Braylin Alexis Guzmán. Guzmán surrendered to authorities, claiming he fired the shot after Sánchez allegedly followed him to his residence and attempted to attack him following a dispute involving Guzmán’s sister. Medical professionals reportedly determined that the severity of the injury made surgery unfeasible. In a subsequent incident, Robert Salazar Gil (also identified in reports as Joel Salazar Gil) was killed by two gunshot wounds in the Olimpia sector. Preliminary reports suggest a dispute occurred between Salazar Gil and an unidentified individual at a residence, possibly involving the return of a motorcycle. Notably, Salazar Gil had voluntarily surrendered to the Central Directorate of Criminal Investigation (DICRIM) two days before the attack, reportedly after learning he was being sought by authorities. One report indicates that Leo Osvaldo García has surrendered to authorities and is being investigated as the alleged responsible party. Family and friends held funeral services for the deceased, calling for justice and a full clarification of the circumstances. Police are working to determine if there is any connection between the victim's recent appearance at the police station and the fatal altercation. ## Timeline ### 2026-11-01: San Francisco de Macorís: Investigation into shooting death of Joel Salazar Gil Police are investigating the fatal shooting of Joel Salazar Gil in San Francisco de Macorís, following reports that the victim had voluntarily surrendered to authorities days before the attack. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/robert-salazar-gil-killed-in-san-francisco-de-macors ### 2026-10-22: San Francisco de Macorís man dies after shooting by brother-in-law Edgar Alberto Sánchez died in San Francisco de Macorís after being shot in the head by his brother-in-law, Braylin Alexis Guzmán, during a domestic dispute. 5 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/san-francisco-de-macors-man-dies-after-shooting-by-brother-in-law --- Cite as: Fatal shootings in San Francisco de Macorís.
